Pigeon Class Recovery Aerospace Fighter

Notes: I didn't use HeavyMetal Aero to design the Pigeon; I did however use info at this link as a basis for how I designed the Pigeon:
http://mordel.net/barandgrill.php?redir ... ic&p=93369
And I'm not sure if a magnet would be an improvement of grappling hook.

Overview: The Pigeon Class Recovery Aerospace Fighter was designed to launch a grappling hook Narc Pod at an aerospace fighter or aerodyne small craft or aerodyne DropShip to tow it to land along with other Pigeons towing said unit.

Capabilities: The ten tons Pigeon can fly a max acceleration of 10 Gs using its 80, has minimal armor, a small dual cockpit and a short range targeting & tracking system that makes launching its wire guided Narc Pod quite more easier, and one Wire Guided Narc Pod Grappling Hook Launcher mounted on its underneath fuselage half that launches exclusively one rereelable wire guided Narc Pod Grappling Hook that can hook onto the wing of an above mentioned unit that is being hijacked or out of fuel (pilot maneuvers Pigeon towards unit and gunner attempts to launch wire guided Narc Pod grappling hook at wing and then pilot rotates Pigeon 180 degrees again after hook latches onto wing and tows said unit).
